T WO incidentsoc-
curred last week
which though noth-
ing extraordinar}^ at
first glance, give to
many hope and as-
surance of the con-
tinuance and increase of athletic interest at
the Institute. The old saying, “There is
nothing new under the sun,” was rudely shat-
tered last Friday afternoon when President
'Pritchett was an interested spectator during
the Varsity practice. His interest in the game
and in athletics generally also led him to be
present at the Tech-Tufts game on Saturday,
and his praise of the team and of their clean
game is one of the most powerful incentives
Tech can possibly have. There is not a case
on record, and it would surely have been
recorded had such occurred, when a president
of Technology has publicly shown his inter-
est and approval of football by his presence
at practice and at a game. Such a move
surely must impress the student body and be
a big factor in increasing the support by the
students of the Football team, and indeed, of
athletics in general.
f ELDOM in the history of the
Institute has such an inspiring
event as the inauguration of
President Pritchett with the sub-
sequent student parade in his
honor, been introduced into the
life of the Tech student.
Never in the annals of Technology has
there been as much so-called college spirit
and enthusiasm displayed on the part of the
undergraduates. The close student has
begun to realize that there exists a feeling of
loyalty, hitherto dormant, which has bfeen
overshadowed by that of purely personal
attainment. True, each one of us is here
with a definite end in view, but let us not, in
our pursuit of that end be .so completely
blinded as to lose sight of the broader and
■more loyal conception of the existence of
a college spirit.
May the enthusiasm which has been aroused
continue to grow, that in the future we may
never sink to that state of inactivity, concern-
, ing Institute affairs, which has been so char-
acteristic of the past.
66 TWE TEOM
The Republican Parade.
The Intercollegiate Republican Parade of
last Tuesday evening was quite as successful
on the part of Tech as the inauguration
serenade of last week, though in numbers
there was a great deficiency. About five
hundred of the fellows turned out and were
provided with torches and caps and gowns of
the Tech colors at the Gym. The formation
was made at about seven-thirty and headed
by a band and three tally-ho parties. The
line of march was taken up along Exeter,
past President Pritchett’s home and on up to
Massachusetts Avenue and Marlborough
Street, where a halt was made to wait for the
Harvard contingent. After considerable de-
lay the crimson-gowned republicans appeared
and the two sections were united and passed
up Massachusetts Avenue, down Huntington,
through the business district to Park Square
and up Columbus Avenue, crossing through
Berkeley to Boylston, where the Tech fellows
were disbanded.
At this point the men started on a run to-
wards the Harvard division which had halted
in front of the Walker Building. Without
much warning the foremost Tech men rushed
into the rear of Harvard’s large band and a
free scrimmage soon held full sway. Resent-
ing the audacity of the crimson delegation in
singing “Fair Harvard” almost on Rogers’
steps, the Tech men quickly grouped thereon
and proved a most efficient guard.
Trouble had been expected at Park Square
and a solid phalanx of police kept the two
bodies apart there. The scope of the strat-
egists, however, did not extend to Copley
Square or all trouble would have been avoided.
With the two bands in such proximity, how-
ever, nothing could stop the rush which came.
Torches were extinguished and the handles
used as clubs. With a yell the Tech men
started for Walker steps and the Harvard
men who- stood in the way changed their
raihds and decided not to stay.
Trophies were eagerly sought and many are
today hanging in Tech men’s rooms.
While this rush was going on others were
in action in the Square, Harvard men who
tried to board cars were carried along from
Trinity, across the flower beds and back
again, every man clutching his cap and
gown as a drowning man a straw.
The police soon appeared again, however,
about one hundred and twenty-five in number,
and showed little hesitancy in using their
heavy clubs. It was Wednesday morning
before the Square assumed its accustomed
dignity.
It was expected that five hundred Tufts
men would also take part in the parade, be-
sides a battalion from Boston University.
Tufts voted early in the day to give it up and
the Boston University men did not appear.
Carriages, barges and automobiles broke
the monotony of the line. Tech, ’98, was
well represented by ten or fifteen loyal rooters
I in a large automobile. Course V. had a large
; wagon and apparently was enjoying itself
hugely.
One band was not enough for Tech, the
music not being heard at the end of the
Junior section. This kept the marching be-
j low the standard set at the Inauguration Sere-
i nade, although the Marshals were most effi
cient in holding the formation.

Apparatus used at the Recent Solar Eclipse.
As the Massachusetts Institute of Technol-
ogy is strictly a school of applied science, the
study of astronomy has never occupied a
prorhinent place in its curriculum ; it has,
howevetj been taught in an elementary way
and also with reference to certain applications
in other departments of scientific work. It
was probably a surprise to rriost of our
students, last sprihg, to learn that the Insti-
the Metropolitan Park Reservation of Middle-
sex Fells. It has been visited arid the . instru-
ments used by all students, in the fourth year
of the civil engineering course, electing the
subjects of Geodesy and Astronomy, but the
number electing these studies is not large,
and outside of this small number of students
little is known either of the observatory or its
work. It is for this reason that it hae seemed
not out of place to give a brief account in

tute possessed apparatus suitable for any sort
of investigation in connection with a solar
eclipse.
A few years ago the Corporation of the
Institute made an appropriation for the build-
ing and equipping of a small geodetic observ-
' atory to be used in giving instruction in that
. branch of astronomy that enters into the work
of the geodetic surveyor, namely the determi-
nation of latitude, time and longitude. The
observatory is located on one- of the hills in
The Tech of the apparatus taken to Georgia
last May by members of the Institute eclipse
party.
A complete record of the observations
appears in the current number of the Tech-
nology ^tarterly i and a journal of the trip
has already been printed in the Technology
Review^ but it is the intention here to explain
simply how it was that we happened to go
and how we had the courage to think that
we could do anything when we arrived.
68
The writer is not aware that there was any
precedent for such an expedition in Technol-
ogy’s history, but this is easily explained.
There has not been since 1869 a total eclipse
of the sun visible at points so easily accessi-
ble from Boston, and it has only been within
a year that there has existed a fund available
for scientific research.
Last winter the Corporation appropriated a
sum of money to send a party to make time
observations in connection with the eclipse of
May 28, 1900. The exact determination of
the times of apparent contact between the
disks of the sun and the moon, and the
astronomical location of the point of observa-
tion are essential parts of almost all the inves-
tigations made during the period of a total
eclipse- The most perfect appliances for the
study of the physical structure of the sun, of
its photosphere and corona might fail utterly,
if the latitude and longitude of the observing
station were in doubt or if there were any
uncertainty about the time.
The instructors in Geodetic Surveying were
familiar with these problems, and this work
was placed in their charge. Fortunately they
were enabled to enlist other Institute men,
and the . field of observation was not limited
to lime determinations.
The selection of Washington, Georgia, as
the station was a happy one, and by the
gathering of other scientific parties at this
point, the usefulness of the lime measure-
ments was extended and a pleasant inter-
change of services was brought about.
To find the latitude we used a portable
astronomical transit with a two, and a half-
inch objective carrying a micrometer eye-
piece and a very delicate level. The deter-
mination was made by measuring by means
of the micrometer the ditferences in the zenith
distances of stars culminating north and
south (Talcott’s Method).
To find the local siderial time we used the
same transit instrument in conjunction with a
break circuit siderial chronometer and a
chronograph.
For longitude work we availed ourselves of
a time signal received telegraphically from
the astronomical clock in Washington, D. C.
A very solid brick pier had to be built for
the support of the transit, and all the instru-
ments were protected from the weather by a
small shed provided with shutters for giving
a clear field of view in the plane of the
meridian.
The observations of the four contacts were
made by means of two equatorially mounted
VIKW OF OBSERVATION STATION.
telescopes oiie of five and one of three inches
aperture. These at the time were obtained
by loan from the firm of Alvan Clark & Sons,
but since the return of the , party the five-inch
equatorial has been purchased by the Institute
and is now a part of the permanent Astro-
some; of the apparatus.
nomical equipment. The observer with the
iarger equatorial recorded his observations
by means of an electrical key directly on the
revolving chronograph, the observer with the
smaller instrument used stop watches com-
pared before and after the observations with
the chronometers.
Ali these observations were successful, and
the success was due to the trained hand and
eye, and to the delicacy of the instruments
used. The -observers were Prof. A. G.
Robbins and Mr. G. L. Hosmer. Without
fine weather, however, no amount of skill or
multiplication of instruments could have pre-
vented the whole affair from being a failure.
It is this taking of chances that gives a cer-
tain fascination to eclipse work ; this, and the
intense concentration of effort into a single
moment of time make these investigations
unique in the field of astronomical research.
The transit station was connected by tele-
phone with the nearest Western Union Tele-
graph Office, and during the morning of the
eclipse and directly after the moment of
totality, a cable message was sent from our
station by Mr. Douglas of the Flagstaff
Arizona Observatory to Prof. Percival Dowell
in Tripoli, Africa, who was there waiting the
approach of the moon’s shadow. It is inter-
esting to note that this cablegram was received
in Tripoli, ten minutes after the message left
the lips of the sender in Washington,- Ga.,
anticipating the arrival of the shadow by two
hours and thirty minutes.
By far the most interesting thing accom-
plished by the “ Tech ” party as it finally
px'oved was the photographing of the corona.
The credit of this work rests entirely with
Mr. Harrison W. Smith of the Physical
Department. The camera devised by him
was original in several features. It carried a
telescopic lens of three inches aperture hav-
ing a focal length of forty-three inches.
The camera was firmly attached to posts
driven into the ground, and it was made to
follow the movement of the sun during the
period of totality by means of a single screw
attached to one end of the camera. This
screw was operated through a series of gear
wheels so arranged that by turning a crank
by hand at the fate of a half turn to the
second, the image of the sun was kept at a
PROF. DANA ]>. UARTI.ETT.
fixed spot on the plate. By this device the
danger of vibration incidental to equator ially
mounted cameras was avoided and Mr. Smith
was able to make six successful negatives
during the eighty-six seconds of totality. The
times of exposure of the plates varied from
five seconds to twenty seconds, thus enabling
different portions of the corona to be brought
out with distinctness. The five seconds
exposure giving the greatest amount of detail
near the edge of the moon, and the twenty
seconds showing the greatest extension of the
outer ra5's. All the photographs are good
for some especial feature ; the one of ten
seconds exposure makes the most satisfactory
general picture, and photogravure reproduct-
ions of this plate have been published.
A set of observations was made by Prof.
Dana P. Bartlett with the magnetometer, an
instrument for measuring the intensity of
magnetic force and also very small changes
in the declination of the magnetic needle.
These observations . have pi'oved very inter-
esting from the purely scientific standpoint.
Before last May, very little consideration had
been given to the effect of a solar eclipse on-
the magnetic forces surrounding the earth.
At this eclipse, howeyer. Professor Bauer, of
the United States Coast & Geodetic Survey,
had six parties observing these effects at six
different places along the track of the moon’s
shadow. Quite independently of these parties
and in fact without the knowledge of their
existence, the Institute party made careful
measurements of the changes in declination
of the magnetic needle during the whole
period of the eclipse.
At first, a hurried inspection of the notes
r«vealed nothing of interest, and the report
that no disturbance was observed was given
out. On reducing the observations, however,
and plotting the curve of changes on a large
scale, a decided variation from the regular
daily curve was evident, and this variation
was so connected with the moments of totality
that its relation to this phenomenon could not
be ignored. If our observation had been an
isolated one it would not have meant much,
but since the reports from Professor Bauer
show that a similar disturbance was noted by
every one of his observers, it seems that we
had the privilege of taking part in the con-
firmation of a new fact in, eclipse research.
It needs only the mention of the sketching
appliances to complete the list of apparatus
used by the Institute party.
It was thought desirable ^to add sketching
of the corona to our programme and a stand
was built to facilitate and increase the accu-
racy of this hasty work. A board was nailed
to the top of posts so that it should be nearly
on a level with the eyes of the sketchers.
The board was slightly inclined and on it
were tacked cards already supplied with a
black disk to represent the moon, with verti-
cal and horizontal lines and concentric circles
to aid in the estimations of directions and
distances. To the upper edge of the board
were attached vertical and horizontal wires ;
these were placed in front of the sketchers
and their intersection could be made to ap-
pear over the centre of the moon. Four
sketches were made of the different quad-
rants and two of the entire corona during
totality. For these drawings we are indebted,
in part at least, to the ladies of Washington,
Ga. All the sketchers practised several times
before the day of the eclipse drawing imag-
inary coronas to the count of the allotted
seconds. The results justified the prepara-
tion.
When this list of apparatus is compared
with the elaborate outfits used at other stations
along the eclipse track, it certainly does not
seem large but such as it was it proved quite
efficient and the experience was certainly of
value to the participants!

Young men are shy of feeble and senti-

refreshed and invigorated by the reading.
The Fall Meet.
The annual fall handicap games were held
on the afternoon of the twentieth at the
Charlesbank gymnasium. Two events how-
ever, the discus and short put, were decided
the following Tuesday. While the attend-
ance was small, excellent weather and good
time made the meet a successful one. As
usual, the two lower classes carried off the
majority of the honors, yet the Sophomore
class surprised everyone by winning the meet
so easily.
Among the athletes individually, H. T.
Winchester ’03 distinguished himself by win-
ning 22 points for his class, a very large per-
centage of honors for one man.
G. B. Manson ’03 finished first in a prettily
run and closely contested half-mile run.
H. F. Peaslee ’03 proved his superiority as
a long-distance runner, by capturing first in
the mile and second in the two-mile run.

When Dr. Pritchett walked on the field at
Tufts Oval last Saturday, the thirty Tech
rooters, who accompanied the team gave a
rousing cheer. His presence at the game no
doubt encouraged the men to play their
hardest and thus saved the game for Tech-
nology.
In the first half the play was mostly in
Tech’s and in the second, in Tuft’s territory.
Twice Tufts by end runs came within ten
yards of scoring, but Tech would hold their
opponents for downs and Metcalfe kicked the
ball out of danger. Tech’s line played beauti-
fully, and not once did a Tuft’s man gain his
distance through centre. Metcalfe by ex-
cellent tackling stopped many end runs which
might have resulted in touchdowns-
For M. I. T., Hooker, Metcalfe, Dillon
and Pope, undoubtedly played the best game,
but the line men deserve especial mention for
the perfect defensive work they showed.
Laws unfortunately sustained a fractured
wrist and will probably not be able to play
again during the season. It was Smith’s first
game, and barring a little nervousness, which
was to be expected, he ran the team well and
played his position creditably. In fact Max-
son has an able substitute.
Tufts kicked off and after several ex-
changes of punts Knight tried for a goal
from the thirty-yard line but failed. Tech
then kicked off from her twenty-five yard
line and Tufts began to work the ends.
Runs of from ten to twenty yards brought
the ball to Tech’s five-yard line, but Tech
held for downs and Metcalfe punted the ball
out of danger. Tufts again played the ends
and had reached the ten-yard line when time
was called. With the first half ended her
chance of scoring, for in the second half the
ball was almost always in her territory.
Pope’s sixty -five yard run for a touchdown,
which was not allowed, being the feature.

The Cane Spree.
Many Cane Days in past years have re-
sulted in a tie, one class winning the football
game and the other the Cane Rush, and
although no one has prevented Freshmen at
the Institute from carrying canes, the ques-
tion whether they had a right to do so or not,
has at least in such cases been left undecided.
Everyone will admit that an even draw is
generally unsatisfactory. As evidence of
this fact, the recent game with Tufts might
be cited. So, to prevent a tie in future, it is
proposed to add a so-called Cane Spree, as
third event to the two, which have until now
constituted the battle royal between the two
lower classes.
The Cane Spree could take place immedi-
ately after the football game and could be
followed by the usual Cane Rush. At Prince-
ton, Cornell, Lehigh, Stevens and several
other colleges, the Cane Spree has been in
vogue for years, and is continually growing
in favor. Six contestants, three from each
class are necessary, and they are paired off
according to their weight, the light-weight
opponents weighing under 140 pounds, the
middle weights between 140 and 160, and
the heavy weights anything over the last
figure.
Each pair of contestants is given a hickory
cane of ordinary size, and upon a signal from
the referee the struggle for possession begins.
Of course only fair means are allowed to be
used by each man in the attempt to wrest the
cane from his opponent — all slugging being
barred and an umpire being appointed for
each pair who shall, in the event of any un-
necessarily rough methods being used by an
opponent, declare the contest forfeited to the
other.
The Cane Spree being an open contest,
foul play can be easily guarded against. The
contestant who wrests the cane from his
opponent is winner of his individual contest
and the class, whose representatives win two
of the individual contests wins the Cane Spree.
A Cane Spree is one of the most exciting
contests imaginable, and arouses far more in-
terest than the Cane Rush, which is nothing
more than an amusing general scrimmage.
As the question is of most vital interest to the
members of the lower classes — Manager
Hilken asked their Presidents to appoint com-
mittees to meet him and discuss the advisa-
bility of having a Cane Spree this year. Mr.
Briggs, the chairman of the Advisory Coun-
cil on Athletics looks with favor on the pro-
posal, and if the committees decide to adopt
it, the Football Association will furnish prac-
tice canes, so that candidates can get into
condition by the fifteenth of November.
1903 Football.
The Sophomoi'es played their first game of
football with Cambridge High, Friday, Octo-
ber 19th, at Charles River Park.
Although all the candidates were given a
trial yet the team succeeded in scoring three
touchdowns and were on the 5-yard line when
time was called. Cambridge made their only
score on a 50-yard run after a fumble.
Score, ’03, 18; Cambridge High, 6.
Football Notes.
Manager Hiiken is negotiating for a game
with Tufts to be played in Boston about the
middle of November.
In Saturday’s game Metcalfe ’04 showed
his ability to play the back field as well as
bucking the line and backing.
Smith ’04 played a very good game at
Tufts last Saturday, considering it was his
first game. With experience he ought to be
an excellent quarter-back for next year’s
varsity.
The ’varsity played Worcester Tech on the
south end grounds yesterday afternoon, A
full description of the game will be given
next Thursday.
It is probable that the Penn rooters on
.Soldiers’ Field, Saturday, will be reinforced
by the University Band. In ’98 the band'
came up and covered itself with glory.
Harvard is working on the “ guards back.”
Lewis has brought in his new ideas which
worked so well two years ago in stopping
the formation. He has the men start at the
crack of a pistol, believing that the Penn,
formation can be stopped by quick starting.
The Harvard line-up for Saturday is a
matter of great comment among Harvard men
now. The two ends, Hallowell and Camp-
bell are settled. Daly will play quarter,
Lawrence, right tackle, and Lee left guard.
The other positions are still undetermined.
The most satisfactory explanation of
Columbia’s good showing against Yale both
this and last year, is that Sanford, being an
old Yale man, thoroughly understands, the
Yale style of attack and has drilled his men
in the best methods to meet it. This is borne
out by the fact that in the first half of Satur-
day’s game, when Yale held to her old style
of play, Columbia kept the lead, while the
Blue won out in the last half when the
Pennsylvania formations were used.
McCloskey of the Penn team is fast earn-
ing the reputation of being one of the best
centres of the country. Coach Woodruff and
Captain Hare praised him after the Chicago
game, saying that Overfield could not have
done better.
It looks as though the Western champion-
ship would fall to one of the three old rivals
— Chicago, Wisconsin or Michigan — with
the odds in favor of Wisconsin. All of these
teams are at present below their usual
standard.
On the occasion of the Harvard-Yale foot-
ball game at New Haven on Saturday,
November 24th, the New York, New Haven
& Hartford Railroad will run a special express
train of coaches from South Terminal Station,
Boston, at 8.20 a. m.. Back Bay Station at
8.24 a. m., for New Haven, returning from
New Haven after the game.
Tickets for the round trip, at $4.00, will be
on sale by Leavitt and Pierce, Cambridge,
and at office No. 3 Old State House, Boston,
South Terminal Station and Back Bay Sta-
tion, on and after November 14th.
Hare and Hounds Run-
In spite of the bad weather fourteen men
turned out for the Hare and Hounds Run last
Saturday. Barring the “juicy” footing the
run was very enjoyable. The trail was a cir-
cuit of over five miles about West Roxbury
and Highlands, at one place going well up
the side of Bellevue Hill. Haynes, ’04 and
Worcester, ’04 were the hares. Captain Pem-
ber was first hound in with Peaslee, ’03 and
Proudfoot, ’04 next.
Next Saturday the Club will run from its
old rendezvous at Newton Center.
The Freshman are coming out in good
numbers this year and are making an excel-
lent showing. Especially Drew, Gould,
Worcester, Haynes, Proudfoot, Porter, and
Baker.

The Editors do not hold themselves responsible for opinion^
expressed by Correspondents.
To THE Editors of the Tech :
Dear Sirs : — The last issue o£ The Tech con-
tained an editorial, which is apt to cause the alumni
and undergraduates to form an erroneous opinion re-
garding the relations existing between the Athletic
and Foot Ball Associations of the Institute. These
associations have, I think, always worked together
harmoniously until two weeks ago, when, unfortu-
nately, a few members of the Executive Committee
of the Athletic Association, contrary to the wishes of
its President, Manager and Secretary, insisted upon
having the games on October 20th, although they
were fully aware of the fact that the Stevens game
had been scheduled for that date. On hearing that
the Athletic Association was considering October
20th as a possible date for the games, I saw Mr.
Briggs, chairman of the Advisory Council on Ath-
letics, and laid the case before him.
He decided against holding the games on the
same day with a home foot ball game, but upon the
receipt of a letter to that effect from Mr. Briggs,
certain members of the Athletic Association told
him- that the games were to be held at the Riverside
Recreation grounds and that few men, excepting the
contestants, would go so far out of town, when they
could see the foot ball team play at home.
Mr. Briggs, although much opposed to having the
two events on the same day, consented as he sup-
posed that the games were to be contested at River-
side and that all arrangements had been completed
— but the Recreation grounds could not be used
and the Charles Bank gymnasium was chosen instead.
The fact that the place was not decided upon
until the very day before the one on which the games
were to be held, shows, I think, that no arrangements
had been made in advance and that the games might
easily have been postponed for one week.
Even supposing that the Athletic games had no
effect on the attendance at the Foot Ball contest,
such conflicts cast little credit on Athletic manage-
ment at the Institute and, with you, I hope that the
Advisory Council will at its next meeting pass a law
preventing such an occurrence in the future.

The I.OUNGER lights a fresh cigar, having eschewed
his old briar for something more nearly suited to his
dignity in these days of rush and excitement. As he
reviews the events of the five weeks just completed he
cannot but feel that the Institute has waked to a new
life, a life well worth the living. How the events
have piled upon one another in the near past, each
crowding the preceding one ! Aye, verily it seems
as though the Fountain of Youth had been let loose
in our midst and we had all drunk deep of it, forget-
ting all our woes, and incidentally dates and formulae,
in our mad desire to live while we live, for we shall be
a long time dead.
The Lounger is hugely pleased to think that he
has discovered a new use to which referees can be
put. Ages ago when The Lounger was debating
within himself as to whether he should become the
mascot of The Tech or not, he used to be aware that
in kids’ schools it was always highly desirable to have
your own referee at a football game,— that is, if you
wanted to win that game. When The Lounger
reached the lofty and venerable halls of Tech, how-
ever, he naturally concluded that all such childlike
tricks should be laid aside and supposed that such
was the case in all colleges till he was so unhappy as
to visit Tufts last week. There he saw a team, hav-
ing perhaps, an attack of big head- from holding
Dartmouth down to a low score, which finding it had
run up against more than it could handle was forced
to accept an official’s kind aid, till The Lounger
stood in great doubt as to whether Tech hadn’t
actually scored a touchdown for the opposite side.
^ ^ ^
The Lounger hereby issues the following edict :
No man in running clothes or bathing suits will be
allowed in the lunch room from this day on. He
hopes that he will be taken seriously when he de-
plores the habit which is becoming entirely too com-
mon at Tech, that of wearing sweaters or any old
thing to recitations and even to lunch. The Lounger
will admit that in the mad rush to supply the demand
for the daily paper the Board has been getting out he
has frequently been called upon to forego the use of
suspenders or a button or so, but he does try to
adjust his makeup so that his friends will not feel
uncomfortable in his presence.
¥ 9 9
From the aspect of political affairs at present. The'
Lounger feels constrained to inquire what was the
object of 'I'ech’s too enthusiastic Democrats in form-
ing their much talked of Democratic Club. That
club started in with much talk and issued statements
to the effect that an innumerable multitude of
students attended its meeting, of whom about three-
quarters were Republicans and now The Lounger
learns on first hand authority that the majority of the
club joined in the McKinley and Sound Money
Parade on Tuesday last.
9 9 9 9
News came to The Lounger some few days ago
that an industrious band of Freshmen had propagated
a novel feature in that gentle organization known as
the Battalion and The Lounger extends his congrat-
ulations to the originators of the master idea of a
Military Band. In those palmy days when .The
Lounger was wont to gather with two or three other
musicians of extraordinary calibre on Wednesday
afternoons, and, in the sacred precincts of the prac-
tising room, play cold hands for the stimulant, a
drum corp was all that was thought necessary. But
now we have the Freshman Military Band rising
Phbenix-Iike from that other simple institution, and a
Band organized on a tremendous scale of splendor.
As for its charitable aspect in opening the way for so
many members of the battalion to become musicians,
the institutors have done much towards the perpetu-
ation on a larger scale, of this historic snap. Thanks
should accordingly be distributed.
? # ^ ^
It seemed almost too sad an occurrence to be-
lieve, that so shortly after the hilarious enthusiasm of
last week, with the parade following the inauguration,
that the judicious Faculty should propel against
Courses W., III. and VL, the “Applied” with its
$S.6o and all other attendant evils. But such harsh-
ness is the case and under this malign influence
which has settled down like a wet horse-blanket over
the above courses. The Lounger can now and then
remember the first five weeks spent in Acadian
simplicity without any disturbing visions of “ Applied.”
And then, gradually, like to the defeated candidate
smothered in the gentle snowdrift of white ballots of
the successful gentleman, The Lounger is numbly
overwhelmed by the real ggndition of affairs and
returns to the seclusion of his own mind and the
pages of the “ Applied.”

Week Commencing November 5, 1900.
Hollis Street Theatre. — Francis Wilson with an
entirely new company is presenting his latest and
most successful comic opera, “ The Monks of Mala-
bar.” The book is by Cheever Goodwin and the
score by Ludwig Englander. The play affords much
opportunity for the display of Mr. Wilson’s grotesque
humor and the. piece bids fair to make a success in
Boston.
Fiske has made remarkable and one that should
certainly not be missed.
Castle Square Theatre. — A new attraction
will be offered this week in “ Arrah-Na-Pogue,” It
is a well written play and in the hands of the regular
Castle Square company should prove a success.
Boston iluseum Andrew Mack, the singing
comedian, is presenting the new melodrama, “ The
Rebel.” The play has had a long run in -London
and New York and has proved its popularity. It
is handsomely mounted and the cast includes many
well-known names. The play will run fot two weeks.
Keith’s Theatre. — The usual variety of high
class attractions is headed, this week, by Robert
Hilliard who is to appear in his dramatization of
R. H. Davis’ charming story, *• Her First Appear-
ance,” and which he has renamed “ The Littlest
Girl.” Of perhaps as much interest in another way
is Prince Ismael, the Indian wonder-worker. The
other features are all excellent in their ways.
Boston Theatre. — Victor Herbert and Henry
B. Smith’s latest production, “The Viceroy,” is being
given by The Bostonians. The Bostonians are too
well known in the field of musical opera to need any
introduction whatever, and when it is heard that
“ The Viceroy ” has the same virile and lyrical lilt of
“ The Serenade,” its success is assured.
Tremont Theatre. — This is the last week of
Mrs. Fisk’s engagement in “ Becky Sharp.” The
play has been given before crowded audiences since
its arrival and this enthusiastic reception will continue
till the end of the engagement. It is a play that Mrs.

Columbia Theatre. — Tonight will usher in
another week of crowded audiences to see the reign-
ing favorite, “The Cadet Girl.” The cast is com-
posed of many well-known and well-liked stars, in-
cluding Dan Daly, William Cameron, George Shiller,
Charles Dox, Adele Richie and Toby Claud. The
music is light, catchy and charming, and the whole
production extremely pleasing.
Boston Music Hall. — The program this week
includes Fred V. Bowers, the popular song writer,
Harry Watson and Company who will present the
funny one-act farce “ The Two Flats,” Hugh Stanton,
in the comedietta “ For Reform,” and thirteen other
features. The performance is fully high-grade in
every respect and is one which will be followed with
much interest.
Park Theatre, — “ Lost River ” by the author of
“ Blue Jeans ” is having a well deserved success. It
is a romance of Indiana rural life. The staging is
excellent.

BROKEN BRIC - A « BRACS.
Mr. Major, the famous cement man, of New York, ex-
plains some very interesting facts about Major’s Cement.
The multitudes who use this standard article know
that it is many hundred per cent, better than other
cements for which similar claims are made, but a great
many do not know why. The simple reason is that Mr.
Major uses the best materials ever discovered and other
manufacturers do not use them,, because they are too ex-
pensive and do not allow large profits. Mr. Major tells
us that one of the elements of his cement costs $3.75 a
pound, and another costs $2.65 a gallon, while a large
share of the so-called cements and liquid glue upon the
market are nothing more than sixteen-cent glue, dissolved
in water or c.itric acid, and, in some cases, altered slight-
ly in color and odor by the addition of cheap and useless
materials.
Major’s cement retails at fifteen cents and tvventy-five
cents a bottle, and when a dealer tries to sell a substitute
you can depend upon it that his only object is to make
larger profit.
The profit on Major’s cement is as much as any dealer
ought to make on any cement. And this is doubly true
in view of the fact that each dealer gets his share of the
benefit of Mr. Major’s adverti.sing, which now amounts to
$5,000 a month, throughout the country. Established in
1876. Insist on having Major’s. Don’t accept any off-
hand advice from a druggikt.
If you are at all handy (and you will be likely to find
that you are a good deal more so than you imagine) you
can repair your rubber boots and family shoes, and any
other rubber and leather articles, with Major’s Rubber
Cement and Major’s Leather Cement, And you will be
surprised at how many dollars a year you will thus save.
If your druggist can’t supply you, it will be forwarded
by mail ; either kind. Free of postage.
